When Extend Force Icon Info is checked, map is zoomed all the way in, and F2 - Rout Status is used all units except support units show combat power in the Unit Info Box instead of Rout Status. With Extended Force Info unchecked then combat power shows correctly.

Extended Force Icon Info checked:

Dave - Here's another one dealing with the extended force info setting. The info shows for all but gun units when zoomed all the way in, but only shows for gun units when zoomed out 1 level and doesn't show all four status boxes on some of the units.

Zoomed all the way in:

Zoomed out 1 level:

I think MikeH has clarified my probs on this, Dave. But I would add, unchecking it doesn't get rid of the option entirely - the info still appears at all zoom levels, for some units (guns, I think).

I found that the code Miquel had written had a few if tests that I would not have used. Basically these never drew detailed icons (ie with the extended info boxes ) for HQs or arty. That's now gone. I also found that there was no check of the options before drawing the extended info boxes in some of the draw code. I have made this consistent now. If the option is off, the extended info boxes don't get drawn ever.

FIXED.

When I have extended info turned off all is ok. It is only when it is turned on the two issues described above occur.
